Yup.....Cricket Graph shows the bandwidth has gone flatter than road kill.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Was OK at 7.15 BST (UTC+1) when I looked at the Cricket Graphs. So, the server in question must have fallen over about 06.30 UTC.

At least crunched WUs results are being returned and the handshaking acknowledging the reported figures is working OK.

Living on your caches, then?

Yup.....except for the 'kitty sniffer' rig, which has about another hour and a half of work left, then it falls back to Einstein and Rosetta 'till the smoke clears.......

As off this moment it appears to be OK .
Looks like the DOWNLOAD server gets overloaded from time to time.

I see we are unable to download atm, n/p this happens, but, all weekend I seem to have an ever increasing pending from about 30k Saturday to almost 48k today and a slowly declining RAC. I see some WU's are being validated, but wondering if there is a slowdown here or if my wingmen are goofing off lol. Maybe just Mark, Satan and a few others are slacking a bit. Anyone else have a pending list increasing more than what seems normal the last few days?

I think pendings always tend to go up over the weekend because of users crunching at work, that may crunch all weekend, but not connect again to report until Monday morning.....
But that is just my theory......

Yeah 4 day cache here now, and that should be more than enough to ride out all but the most extreme outages

I must confess I am slacking, only reporting every 6 hours or so at the minute.

I do apologise from the heart of my botton to anyone who is waiting for me to report a work unit.

I guess having a large cache is a good idea at the minute. Feel sorry for the guys, they work there a**'s off yet it seems 1 step forward 2 steps back at the minute. They must get so frustrated in that office.

Front Page News

We continue to have workunit storage server problems but hope to have the machine replaced today (but may not have it on line until tomorrow). Until this new system is in place workunit downloads will be disabled.

Good thing I have plenty of WU's on my other projects, as I am down to my last WU on SETI and SETI Beta.

I'm still hoping to reach 50k for SETI before the end of the month!

also see Matt's post titled Moribund Monday (Apr 14 2008) in the Technical News forum.

Continuing problems with the workunit storage server... There were more resets over the weekend, ultimately resulting in one that caused the server to think enough drives have failed to call the entire RAID dead. We are confident we can trick the server into thinking otherwise - we actually have some helpful techs logged in doing that as I type. We still want to replace the whole box, which we'll hopefully do today, and then the drives will have to resync again. Chances are we'll be down until tomorrow (Tuesday).

So while we are down we'll try to catch up on several things. Moving servers around the closet, incorporating the new drive enclosure that arrived today, getting more stuff on the new KVM, etc.

I seem to have 1 upload and 1 download that don't want to work right now...Hope it doesn't become long term...

Hello Matt, thanx for the INput, hope you get server OUTput without to much hassle. ;)
We will 'survive' the weekly outage. Looks like a lot off work.
